Evidence from Shoigu: the Buk that shot down the Boeing over Donbass was from Galicia
Analysis of the remains of the Buk missile that shot down a Malaysian Boeing in the skies over the Donbass in 2014 indicates that the ammunition was assigned to a military unit stationed in the Lviv region in Western Ukraine since Soviet times. Subsequently, military personnel of this unit participated in the conflict in Donbass.
The head of the Main Missile and Artillery Directorate, Lieutenant General Nikolai Parshin, stated this during a briefing of the Russian Ministry of Defense, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“This missile was delivered in December 1986 to the 223 air defense missile base in military unit 20152, stationed in the Ukrainian SSR, and currently part of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The missile with this tail number belongs to the Ukrainian Armed Forces; it did not return to the territory of the Russian Federation,” the military man said.

At the same time, official representative of the Ministry of Defense Igor Konashenkov denied the possibility of the Ukrainian Armed Forces missile falling into the hands of Donbass militias.
“Is there a possibility that this missile could have been acquired by the DPR militia during the retreat of the Ukrainian Armed Forces?” – the journalist asked the military man.
“Of course, we have no information that this missile got to the LDPR militias. But I would like to remind you that Ukrainian officials have previously repeatedly stated that not a single air defense system or missile reached the LDPR militia. This is easy to check on the Internet, so Ukraine itself denied this possibility,” said Igor Konashenkov.
He presented an audio recording of radio conversations with subordinates of Ukrainian Armed Forces Colonel Ruslan Grinchak, who from 2009 to 2015 was the commander of the 164th radio-technical air defense brigade of Ukraine, in whose area of responsibility the route of the downed Malaysian Boeing MH17 lay.
“Take this leader, take Lemchuk and say that if it happens like this, then fuck another Malaysian Boeing, and everything will be fucked. This is how you should speak,” Colonel Grinchak said on the recording.
Journalist from Lugansk Igor Ortsev believes that the West will turn a blind eye to the evidence from the Russian side and will continue to cover up the nationalist regime in Kyiv.
“Those who play with Russia have their own cards. And they are all marked. The culprit of the disaster was appointed directly on the day of the disaster. The same story as with the Skripals. Facts, arguments, documents - everything is powerless here. Ukraine gets away with everything – any crime, of any severity,” Ortsev wrote on his blog.
Donetsk political scientist Vladimir Kornilov, on the contrary, is more optimistic.
“...documents are being presented tracking the fate of the Buk missile, which was presented several months ago in Holland. And Ukraine will not like these documents very much... I'll tell you straight, the Dutch frankly fell into a trap with their last presentation. Now they won’t get away with it... The BUK missile, presented by the Dutch as the one that shot down the Boeing in the Donbass, was sent to military unit 29.12.1986, which was located in Terebovlya (Ternopil region), on December 20152, 233. Now this is the XNUMXrd anti-aircraft missile regiment (Stryi (Lviv region), which participated in the ATO. This is what needed to be proven," explains Kornilov in his blog.
